When Trump asks African-Americans, "What do you have to lose?" if you elect him president, the story of the Central Park Five answers that question.

YOUR LIFE!

to sit down with Rachel on her show for an interview?

(now let's see if Donald -- Mr. "Strength & Stamina" -- has the guts to accept)

The media has been derelict in not informing the American people of this incident and confronting Trump on his past.

“Had this been the 1950s, that sick type of justice that they wanted – somebody from that darker place of society would have most certainly came to our homes, dragged us from our beds and hung us from trees in Central Park. It would have been similar to what they did to Emmett Till,” Salaam said.

These days, with wannabe handlers all around, it seems to take about a good 2 days for him to do that and move on to an emotional point where his handlers can get him to understand he's hurt himself badly and has to change course.

And, yes, he's almost certainly incapable of feeling shame, or guilt. We see that he is not a whole, normal person. He likely does feel regret--for himself, though, seldom, perhaps never, for others.

His handlers must have gotten to him because he later tweeted his "condolences" to Dwyane Wade.

He's also called Hillary a "lose cannon" with "bad judgement and insticts."
